“During his visit to the Chili Peppers Hot Pot Spa in Harbin, China, Jordan Egbert, a video blogger, introduced an exotic spa experience,” foreign media reported. Besides the Hot Pot Spa, there are various types of experience-based spa treatments. The pool filled with jelly beads also features a fish spa where visitors can soak and relax, and where small fish remove dead skin cells from their feet. There are also herbs, flower bath, sauna, rest area and dining area.
The hot spring is especially attractive. “As the spa is located in Harbin, China, which is famous for being the world’s largest ice festival, there is an Arctic concept spa indoors and a hot spring with a temperature of about 39 degrees Celsius that can be enjoyed in the snow outdoors,” Egbert said.
The video made headlines with more than 2 million views on Instagram. One user commented, “It’s so bizarre. I really want to go there someday,” while another commented, “It’s my dream destination.” Besides, “The acidity of my body doesn’t seem to be able to withstand it. Some said, “It looks cool though,” and others said, “I feel like I am becoming an ingredient in the cartoon without knowing anything.” “Hot pot spa” made headlines in China last year as a unique experience space. According to Hong Kong media HK01, the company said that the color of red soup is that of roses, which are extracted after a certain period of time. The hot red pepper floating in the soup used a non-spicy variety, and added that it helps boost metabolism. Milk was added to the white soup to create the texture of hot pot broth, and the vegetables in the soup are replaced regularly depending on the situation on the site.
The company said, “The hot spring bath is a direction for a differentiated experience, mainly for tourists to take pictures and leave memories,” adding, “It is not a facility that expects health or treatment effects.”
